Start of the parade, 2019. It was great evening, cold and calm, about 40 boats took part and the shoreline had a lot of people out in the parks between Pt. Defiance and the Foss Waterway in Tacoma WA. We are third in line-

I'm reworking Bonds and Grounds as I work through bilge areas and have a few inconsistencies... So my question is what has to be bonded? Any metal fitting touching seawater? My engine seastrainers are isolated from the hull and engines by rubber hoses on each end. No bond straps. Should...

Is there a source for recycled parts on the DD 871"s? I may need a fuel cooler assy, at least the casting. My STBD one has such weak metal that a chunk broke of when I pulled the hose off to replace the hose and clamps. Have not tried the port one yet, but similar issues are expected. I'm...

No kidding, then swing thru Seattle and we can kit up a 871 package... I just went thru the HE's and intercoolers. It is amazing what came out of them, on a cool running set of 871's. Now that they are clean I need to get my plumbing set up for preventative maintenance. Great info, thank...

Hello all, I have two aux gensets, a 8kw Onan in the lazzarette and a 15kw Westerbeke in the gen room under the galley. Both work, get used for specific reasons, both are getting to be vintage and while I understand that having a two aux power sources has its advantages operationally, there...

Has anyone done this? I have the new wildcat from Ideal (Schaeffer) but need to know how to disassemble the vertical windlass to replace it. It looks like a press fit on the shaft once the clutch and capstan is removed. Does anyone have a manual or diagram? Thx in advance-
